Gorge Box Set Released

By Waldo Jaquith
Today, Dave Matthews Band's first box set, The Gorge, went on sale, along with a slimmed-down version. The $50 collection features six CDs that include all three nights' performances of the Washington amphitheater in 2002 (09/06, 09/07, 09/08), and is available only on the band's website. The $25 version, on sale everywhere, features two CDs and 1 DVD, and also contains tracks from the three-night series, only a third as many, which were selected in a vote by Warehouse members. The collection has already gotten great reviews, with the strongest so far coming from The Seattle Times, who declared that it "never gets boring," "the sound is perfect," and that the DVD is "one of the best concert films ever."
